I have seen several Finnish Lugers on GB lately (almost bought one!) with what were described as "Tikka" barrels on them...(pic attached)...

It would be very easy to shorten a "Tikka" barrel and deepen the chamber and mount it on a Luger receiver...

It's my understanding that "Tikka" made both 4" and 5" Finnish pattern barrels for the Luger...The front sight is distinctive; different dovetail, too...

Here's the cartouche on a Finnish "Tikka" barrel...(This is on a Luger, IIRC)...

Steinar - Is your pic of a "Tikka" 5" barrel???...That would be cool on a Luger!!!

Postino, I'm fumbling in the dark about this barrel.. Glad you pointed out that it's not a Lahti.
I'm no expert, but from pictures I don't think it looks like a Tikka eighter..

Here is a picture of the barrel attached to a Luger (second from the bottom). Please share your thoughts what it can be.

Btw. never had a lahti on my belt, but occasionally a Luger

Edit: it looks scratched/rough on that last picture due to the flash, it's actually smooth and is probably unused.

I'm certainly no expert either...But that looks like a Luger front sight, not a Lahti (like in that GB pic of a Luger with Luger/Lahti in post #9 above)...

How long is it???

I will measure it when I get back from work.. From eyesight, it looks approximately 5" long (same as a Tikka barrel).
